    Hi all,

    Space Shuttle Visible Tonight 15/07/09


    The Space Shuttel Endeavour ( STS-127 ) will be visible tonight if the scheduled launch due at 23.03PM Irish time goes ahead, she will pass over Ireland 18 minutes later at 23:21PM and will be a very bright star moving very fast also visible will be the two EF Booster tanks following behind the shuttle as they will have jettisoned from the Shuttle a few minutes earlier.


    The launch itself will be shown on Sky News on TV, but i suggest you get out to see her overhead after so be outside from 23:18PM onwards if it's a clear sky as this will be a rare opportunity to see the Booster Jets behind the Shuttle herself, this is not to be missed. She will approach from a SW Direction so look towards Galway.


    ENJOY!
